     Folks-

     Thanks to the following folks for speedy replies:
Franz Fischer, Reg Beardsley, and Gerhard Nolte. We
purchased the Seagate ST39140W 9Gb hard drive, installed
it in the spare drive bay at the back of the 500au Personal
Workstation and used the diskconfig widget to partition and
set up the filesystems. We had to futz a bit with the widget
to get the partitioning right, but otherwise everything
worked OK the first time.


Original question:
